Every nut and bolt: An overview of mobile crane technology

This is how to build a mobile crane

Our engineers use their own concept specifically tailored to mobile cranes for designing every single crane model. This is based on the requirements of our customers and markets.

But the technology requirements differ depending on the crane size and objective of the crane development process.

Every crane is designed individually – so that it is perfect for you and your crane jobs.

This is why we are providing an insight into our general mobile crane technology here – the precise performance data, equipment and options for individual cranes are listed under the various crane models.

For any terrain:

Efficient chassis and drive technology

Our mobile cranes feature enormous mobility on any terrain. This is guaranteed by our high quality chassis and drive technology which also delivers maximum economy.

The crane provides the operator with extraordinary manoeuvrability – and a comfortable workplace.

Comfortable workplace: Driver's cab and crane cab

Thinks for itself:

LICCON smart crane control system

We develop the software and hardware for the control system in-house. The heart of the system is the LICCON (Liebherr Computed Control) computer system. This forward-thinking control architecture enables it to adapt to the continually growing needs of the market.

What is more, Liebherr specialists continuously work on developing the system.

Powerful and accurate:

Powerful hydraulic system

Hydraulic drive units and electronic control systems must be perfectly coordinated to allow large loads to be moved accurately. We develop systems tailored to each capacity class which are designed for practical applications.

Perfect for any purpose: Variable boom systems

Properly thought out:

Low cost crane operation

Our machines deliver all-round economy for crane operation. The well-designed transport, set-up and operating concept are based on many years of practical experience. That enables you to save time, money and material in everyday use.

VarioBallast, ECOmode and VarioBase are just three examples from our range of technologies in this respect.

REDEFINING PERFORMANCE

After-sales and general service

The continuous improvement and expansion of our global service network is part of our commitment to provide you with the best possible support all over the world. This includes on site service and supplying spare parts.

Training

By professionals for professionals: We provide a wide range of training courses at our in-house training centres. Well trained personnel help to increase the performance of cranes whilst also improving industrial safety.
